Trend of clean and green cars

Open from October 22, the 39th Tokyo (Tokyo Motor Show) Motor Show - one of the five largest auto industry exhibitions - closed yesterday (7 / 11) in Chiba Prefecture, near Tokyo Capital (Japan). Organized every 2 years, this year's exhibition attracted 240 manufacturers, providing spare parts and services related to two-wheel and 4-wheel vehicles from 14 countries and territories participating in product display.

Nearly 600 cars and motorcycles of various styles and technologies were introduced at the exhibition, of which 79 models ' concept car ' first appeared in the world, according to the Manufacturers Association. Japanese cars (JAMA). (Concept Car is a new design that is expected to hit the market in the next few years, bringing together all the innovations of the manufacturer and helping customers orient their models in the future). The exhibition affirms a common trend that car manufacturers in the world are increasingly focusing on: producing vehicles so that they are less dependent on petrol and not harm the environment. This meets the demands of consumers in the context of soaring petroleum prices in the past, increasing the cost of goods production and consequently the prices of gasoline-powered vehicles also tend to rise. The two technologies most used by manufacturers for future models are advanced fuel cell technology and drive-by-wire technology - drivers who perform sports Such as driving, braking and gearing through electronic signals.

Toyota Endo Concept

At the forefront of the race to develop environmentally friendly advanced technologies, Toyota Motor Corporation - the world's second largest car manufacturer (after US General Motors), unveiled the ' concept car ' model. The latest in fuel cell vehicles. FCVs are judged by market observers to be the 'most advanced eco-car ' with fuel generated from the chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen and water which is the only product released during operation. . This type of car is more beneficial to the ecosystem than electric and hybrid 'hybrid' models like Toyota's popular Prius passenger car. It is not a matter of improving the maximum speed or energy consumption efficiency, instead Toyota focuses on replacing environmentally friendly materials such as bodywork and interiors using plastic and fiber can be cancel.

In terms of consumer convenience, Honda's new design proved superior. It is also a fuel cell vehicle, but Honda's FCV operates with a fuel refueling unit and supplies electricity and hot water for family activities. The refueling system will refine natural gas to provide hydrogen to combine with oxygen to generate electricity to operate the vehicle and release the only byproduct of water. The refueling unit can also provide living electricity and take advantage of the heat in the electricity production process for indoor hot water systems. In addition to a 40% reduction in emissions, this system will help consumers save half the cost of electricity, monthly household gas and car fuel. For pet lovers, Honda has a two-wheel drive vehicle with a sliding door for the driver to place his pet in the front cage of the back seat.
